Small and picturesque hotel close to Oxford city centre and green areas. Walking distance to everything you need and all the sights. A slightly run down room compensated by very friendly and service minded staff. Surprisingly good continental breakfast. A hotel to recommend to both families as well as couples and single travelers.

DO NOT BOOK HERE. This is one step up from a hostel, other than the food. Photos do NOT reflect what you get!! I booked a Delux Quadruple that was advertised as spacious. I got a ground floor room that stepped immediately onto the sidewalk with two beds, NO DRAWERS AND THE CLOSETS WERE STUFFED WITH SHEETS AND COMFORTERS. I discussed the discrepancies with the front desk person and her reply was, yes the photos are misleading on Expedia, but then I showed her the same photos on there website - no comment. When I asked about why I was paying the same amount for a cramped room the reply was “That is what you get today for that charge, the charges change daily” This is a place that misleads you and smiles while doing it. Three other guests were making the same comments as they had nowhere to place their luggage in their room as the beds left no space around them. BOOK HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Cute little hotel but the rooms were spacious, clean and affordable. The cafe connected had great food and the staff were really nice. Short walk to Christ Church and City Center where all the action was happening. I really enjoyed my stay.

The staff was so unbelievably kind - I cannot say enough good things about them! From the free snacks in the cafe through to putting the Olympics on during meals, we were really treated like family. Someone even helped me get my rental car out of the parking lot (which absolutely terrified me as an American). The location is great - right near the folly bridge, a convenient walk to everything while still being quiet and peaceful!

The place needs some updating with bathroom walls pilling off and mould around the window. As soon as 7am arrives the whole building smells like breakfast and made the morning uncomfortable until we had to open the window in the room.

We didn’t have a comfortable stay. Our booking of a deluxe quadruple room surprisingly, was actually at the basement of the property with no view. The floor was really damp & cold. Only one thin pillow for each person. One of the cups was stained and the bathroom door was faulty, couldn’t be closed properly. We were served continental breakfast (not full English breakfast), and free snacks & fruits during the stay. The hotel is situated in the residential area, about 7-8 minutes walk to the city centre. On site paid parking available. For £220 per night for 3 pax, on a weeknight, it is overpriced for a basement room :((

The hotel is a short cab ride from the train station and about a 15 min walk from the city center in a quiet residential neighborhood. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel had everything you need and was a good option for a family of four for a night stay.

Excellent all round with especial thanks to Samira and Bushra for delightful welcome. Also for providing requested bath. You only lose a few points for the gap in the supposedly double bed. But we shall recommend you, indeed have already done so.

Truly lovely staff at this little gem of a hotel and cafe. Immaculately clean, well equipped and nicely situated on a residential street away from traffic and street noise. The fittings are a little tired in places but the bed was really comfortable, and lots of thoughtful touches. The staff however, were superb. Nothing was too much trouble and we truly felt well looked after. Well done Ethos.

We are frequent travelers and this by far has been a bitter experience. The room we were stayed was straight out of construction room. Carpets were getting off with the rolling suitcases, you could see u finished construction around the room . The room was located in an attic which was oddly shaped. Bathroom wall was dirty and stained. Window was making weird noises while the wind was blowing outside . Most annoying part was the room was on 3 rd floor without any elevators and very narrow and tiny stairs. We had no help tolling the large suitcases upstairs and when asked for another room, we were declined. We did not have a pleasant experience at all at this location. I would avoid if possible.

This is a great location in Oxford! Great walking distance to many sights and streets. There were a few things within our stay that weren’t as pleasant. There was hard water mold buildup in the water kettle— not found until after the tea had been poured. Not a great surprise. Additionally, some dust buildup on the trim in the bathroom, broken temperature handles in the shower, and a hair on the bed-side table. Some rather pleasant surprises would be the heated floors and towel warmer, a lovely card and gift of wine in celebration of our anniversary, and the breakfast upgrade for our first morning. Thank you, Ethos!

The room was comfortable and clean. Nice selection of tea and coffee, fridge and microwave. Bed comfy, room warm. The breakfast is lovely, lots of choice. The staff were really lovely, helpful and friendly. The city centre is walkable. I'd advise you use the park and ride if you are driving to Oxford, very reasonable and easy to use. No street parking. We enjoyed our stay and reccomend Ethos Hotel.

The Ethos was clean and comfortable and the perfect spot for one night in Oxford. It's a VERY short and scenic walk to the center of town. The breakfast was good. We especially enjoyed the varied coffee options and ordered lattes. Note, however, that if you require parking, you need to book it separately from your room and in advance because there is a limited amount. (It cost us about $12 for our night.) The spot we were given (in a very small lot adjacent to the hotel) was very tight. My son is a skilled and intrepid driver, so he was okay with it, but it would have been too daunting for me. So be sure to request a different spot if the one you're assigned seems hard to negotiate. I did notice some cars parked along the sidewalk by the hotel, and this seemed like an easy place to pull in.
